Oppose the 40th IFRA Amendment

We the undersigned petitioners oppose the 40th IFRA Amendment to its CoP, the unecessary red tape it will create, and the other widespread negative implications for all natural aromatics/essential oil users, across a range of professions. We will strongly object to any subsequent adoption of the Amendment into the EU regulatory process. and we request that IFRA reconsider ther position, preferably by debate with all affected parties.

This is beyond out of control. I want the right to choose. How can you even consider the banning of many of these ingredients??? This is insanity! Little, by little, you are taking attempting to create an odorless world. What next? Colors??? Why not? You can always claim that certain colors stimulate a negative reaction in certain people, ban them, dress us all in gray, and proclaim that you are protecting us and that it is for our own good. Strip away all that is pleasing to the senses, and you leave no difference between actually living, and merely existing. PLEASE! Stop!!!

I understand the restrictions of some allergens in some ingredients, but the recent ban list is beyond absurd. Why don't they ban all ingredients in the world and start making scents only with water, then? For God's sake, I had enough on this. I'm seriously done with that. There will be a year soon when perfumes will not be called perfumes anymore. I'm done with these bans and restrictions... I'ts time to stop.
